Board recognizes Wichita Falls students who made TMEA All‑State ensembles
Summary
Trustees recognized students from Wichita Falls high schools who qualified for Texas Music Educators Association All‑State ensembles; directors introduced students and noted several multi‑year qualifiers and awardees.
At the meeting the board recognized Wichita Falls students who qualified for Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All‑State ensembles. Kelly Strinsky (introduced in the meeting as "director of plan hours") recommended board recognition of the students selected through TMEA’s audition process.
Directors from Legacy, Memorial and other feeder schools introduced several students by name and school, noting distinctions such as multi‑year All‑State qualifiers and first‑chair placements at area contests. Notable student names introduced during the presentation included Sinan Cabrera (Legacy High School; multi‑year All‑State bass player), Kira Dassinger (Legacy High School; junior; multiple regional first‑chair placements), Dayton Shoemaker (second year All‑State member; unable to attend) and Allie Calvert (Memorial High School; senior; All‑State after multiple area attempts). Directors praised students’ dedication to the audition process, and some students were recognized for planned college or study pathways in music.
The board and attendees applauded the students and their directors. The recognition was presented as an informational and ceremonial item; no formal board action was required.
